Lin Jiajingyu's Counterattack in the Red Chamber

The Liu family invited Mrs. Liu's eldest sister-in-law, Mrs. He, as a mediator, and took the characters of Liu Jiyuan and Daiyu to apply for an appointment.After doing the calculations, the two families chose June 22, the most advanced day among several auspicious days.

The days are a bit rushed, but Mother Liu seems to be dragging her days, so how can she care about other things?Fortunately, after the agreement was made years ago, Lin Jingyu asked someone to make clothes and headgear for Daiyu, and after the marriage was given, she asked someone to go to Liu's mansion to measure and make furniture. Although she was a bit busy, she was still orderly.

After the date was confirmed, Lin Jingyu spent several days writing wedding invitations, colleagues in the court, friends he met after arriving in the capital, classmates and friends of his father during his lifetime, and wedding invitations to send back to Suzhou.The mountains in Suzhou are far away and the roads are far away. Old people from Suzhou don't have the energy to go to the capital to drink daughter's red wine, but this kind of etiquette must be necessary.

Since entering June, the Lin and Liu families have received congratulatory gifts one after another.They arrived early and late, and many of them arrived before and after two congratulatory gifts, one for the title of He Lin Jingyu Gold List, and one for He Lin's married daughter.

In this era, the dowry included the necessities that a woman would use from her marriage to her death. It meant that a woman would not depend on her husband's family for food, drink and clothing, and would have the confidence to live in her husband's family.It is not only the reliance of a married woman, but also represents her status in her natal family and her husband's family.

There are many rules in the aristocratic family, that is, the amount of a woman's dowry is restricted by rules and regulations.Leaving aside the details, Mrs. Liu is the headwife and eldest sister-in-law of the Liu family, and Daiyu's dowry should at least not surpass this Mrs. Liu.Liu Jiyuan is a descendant of the concubine, and the distinction between concubines and concubines is higher than that of brothers, so Daiyu's dowry is higher than that of Liu Jiyuan's concubine's sister-in-law.

At the beginning, Mrs. Liu's dowry was 120 eight liters, and Liu Jiyuan's sister-in-law's dowry was 120 liters. Lin Jingyu set Daiyu's dowry at 120 six liters.

In fact, Daiyu's dowry is most suitable at 120, because the only son of Liu Jiyuan's second uncle's family has not yet married, and this son is a few months older than Liu Jiyuan, so there should be some room for this unmarried wife.It's just that Lin Jingyu always felt that the number four was unlucky, so she took up the number 120.

Daiyu is a new guest, Lin Jingyu is not yet married, Princess Rongcheng is Daiyu's godmother and Lin Jingyu's mother-in-law, so Lin Jingyu has the cheek to invite Rongcheng Princess to the house for a few days.

On the day of adding make-up, Lin Jingyu greeted the male guests who came with her in the front hall, and the female relatives were entertained by Princess Rongcheng.It was Wang Xifeng who brought Xichun to Lin's mansion to add make-up in Jia's mansion.

It's still early, Princess Rongcheng and Sun Qin are welcoming guests at the front.What they saw was Daiyu's natal family, so they asked the servant girl to lead the two of them to Daiyu's room to have a talk with Daiyu.

After congratulating Daiyu, Wang Xifeng said: "Sister Lin, after the imperial concubine concubine concubine concubine visits her relatives, my ancestor's spirit is not very good. My mother and aunt have to serve my ancestors, so I won this errand to make me happy."

Lin Jingyu added a lot of trouble to Jiamu, and Jiamu's life was not going well, so her health was not as good as in the original book.Since the imperial concubine visited relatives, she rarely went to the ground.

Daiyu asked the two to sit down, and let Xueyan watch tea, asking, "Why didn't Sister Bao and Sister Tanchun come together?"

"Your Tanchun sister's date is set in September, so it's not easy to go out again. The date has just been set, and you haven't posted a post yet, so you don't know yet."

Daiyu laughed and said, "She came to the house a few days ago, and Sister Tanchun's words are too tight."

"As for your elder sister Bao, who is the most proud person in front of your grandmother, it is impossible for your grandmother to leave her."

Hearing the disapproval in Wang Xifeng's words, Daiyu just praised, "Sister Bao is naturally good."

After years of careful nursing, Daiyu was dressed brightly and festively before the wedding day, coupled with her good complexion, it was hard to see that she was carrying a weak disease from the womb.After Wang Xifeng looked at it carefully, he joked: "Strange Taoists say that people are refreshed on happy occasions, and that's nothing more than a fairy descending to earth."

"Sister-in-law will make fun of me." Daiyu blushed and sighed, "Back then my sisters and sisters played around together, but there will be no chances in the future."

After Daiyu got married, the Liu family's new wife and the Lin family's concubine, two identities, entered two circles.

"What nonsense are you talking about?" Wang Xifeng said with a smile, "Xiangyun is the youngest among the sisters, but she took the lead in the end. Mrs. Wei's virtuous name is well-known far and wide. You post a message to talk to sister Xiangyun. Madam, is it possible that she will still hold Sister Xiangyun and prevent her from going out?"

The two Mrs. Shi Hou probably got someone's letter, and they married Shi Xiangyun before Yuanchun visited his relatives.The family background of the Wei family is comparable to that of the historians, and Wei Ruolan is also a talented person.Just looking at this marriage, the two Mrs. Shi Hou have done their best.After they got married, Shi Xiangyun and Wei Ruolan could be said to be in perfect harmony according to Tanchun's words.

The Wei family has a good family background, but not as good as the Liu family.Later, when Shi Xiangyun and Daiyu get along, Shi Xiangyun's status will be lowered, so Wang Xifeng said so.

"I don't know when sister Xiangyun became the youngest." Daiyu pulled Xichun up to tease Wang Xifeng.

Wang Xifeng pretended to slap herself twice, and explained: "Xichun is of the same generation as you, but not much older than Sister Qiao, she still doesn't understand anything."

The three of them were talking, when they saw Xueyan smiling and leading a few girls in brocade clothes and luxurious clothes, and came in.When the first person saw Daiyu, he laughed out loud, "We went around the Lin Mansion but didn't find the bride, so we're hiding here talking to others."

Daiyu is thin-skinned, and many of her girlfriends are from generals' families. After the marriage is settled, it is indispensable to have a joke when they meet.Daiyu blushed and begged for forgiveness: "Sister Ying—"

"Ah Ying, stop talking, or people will find cracks in the ground to get in. Then we'll see how you conjure up such a person for the Liu family."

Another person followed immediately, "Let's not talk about the Liu family, even Ah Qin can't spare you."

Everyone covered their mouths and laughed lightly.Lin Jingyu and Princess Rongcheng's daughter Sun Qin didn't know each other well, but they did know the families they had good acquaintances with.Otherwise, in what capacity did Sun Qin come to the Lin Mansion to help with management.Although Wang Xifeng didn't understand, she also responded to several people.

Daiyu hurriedly introduced several noble ladies to Wang Xifeng and Xichun, Wang Xifeng is a woman, but Xichun is still young, not to mention that the noble ladies present are the top batch in the capital, Wang Xifeng and Xichun I can't talk to each other.Daiyu saw that she had passed the ladder several times to no avail, so she also left it alone.Fortunately, Wang Xifeng has a delicate face, so she should talk to a few people, and it's fun to watch.

"Ah Qin is so busy that his feet don't touch the ground, you should hide here to relax."

"There are always times when Ah Qin is sitting and waiting, why are you reporting her injustice now? Besides, even though Ah Qin is too busy to take a sip of water now, I don't know how to be happy."

Sun Qin was not there, so it was natural that Daiyu had endured all the good-natured jokes from everyone, her cheeks were flushed, and she was so ashamed that she didn't know what to say.

"We can't sit still. Just now, I asked Ah Qin to take you to see your dowry. Your brother is really willing."

Daiyu pursed her lips and smiled.

When Jia Min got married, it was the time when the Rongguo Mansion was prosperous. As the only daughter from the first daughter in the Rongguo Mansion, Jia Min's dowry was quite generous.What Lin Jingyu and the others have prepared over the years, plus most of Jia Min's dowry, Lin Jingyu has actually pretended to be 120 six lifts.

For women, even if they lose their teeth when they are old, the rich dowry they received when they were young is still their capital to show off.

Those present are all boudoir friends, so they get closer when they talk.Several people chattered about Daiyu's generous dowry, and Daiyu was very proud.

Just as he was talking, he saw Sun Qin walking in hurriedly.After answering a few words with the noble lady present, he dragged Daiyu to the living room next door. "Ancestor, hurry up, the distinguished guest is here, come with me to thank you."

There is only one family in the world who can use Xie En.Daiyu was startled, and immediately calmed down.

Everyone went to the living room and saw Princess Rongcheng talking to two female officials in palace attire.

Daiyu hurried forward to meet the palace ceremony.

"Miss Lin, this servant is ordered by the empress to come and add makeup to the girl."

Daiyu and the others hurriedly knelt down, and the man continued: "The Empress ordered: Give a pair of jade porcelain vases, a pair of jade Ruyi, a pair of gilt filigree dotted emerald beads and phoenix steps, and a pair of sapphire carved phoenix hairpins. Yes, a pair of dragon and phoenix bracelets." The man paused and motioned: "Miss Lin, please."

Daiyu leaned over and said, "My daughter-in-law leads the decree to thank you."

Daiyu stood up, took the box from the female officer, and handed it to Xueyan standing behind her.

Princess Rongcheng saw that Daiyu had received the decree, and hurriedly asked the two female officials to look at the dowry. The two female officials accepted with a smile. The Liu family came to see the dowry. When they were almost there, Princess Rongcheng took everyone to add makeup first.

Daiyu's dowry was placed in the yard where she lived, and the yard was filled to the brim.There were several desks covered with red cloth in the main room, and the make-up gifted by the empress was placed on the central table.

The two wives from the Liu family looked at the dowry just as a formality. If they looked too carefully, they would be said to have shallow eyelids, and if they looked too perfunctorily, they would be said to be dissatisfied with the bride.It can also be regarded as making things difficult for the bride's family against her husband's family. For the two Madam Liu, it is naturally not a difficult matter.

Mrs. Xu poured water into the jade porcelain vase with her own hands. After the water was poured in, the original plain jade porcelain vase showed a pattern of magpies on branches.When the water is shaking, it seems that the magpie is jumping on the branch.

Seeing that everyone was shocked, Mrs. Xu pulled Daiyu and said with a smile: "Master Yang spent five years working hard to make this jade porcelain vase. At the beginning, I looked forward to it for a long time, but my mother was not willing to give it to me. Today it is You got it."

Mrs. Xu's son-in-law Li Xianyang was accompanied by the emperor, and Mrs. Xu pointed out the fact that the jade vase was bestowed by the emperor in a few words.

The Xu family and the Lin family are on good terms, and the Xu family is one of the best in the aristocratic family, so it is perfect for her to start at this time.Princess Rongcheng asked her to start first, but Mrs. Xu declined for a while before saying: "With the queen's empress and jade in front of me, I can only throw bricks and attract jade here."

The queen's make-up was placed on the table in the middle. Among the ladies who came to add make-up, she had the highest status, so Mrs. Xu asked someone to put her make-up on the table to the left of the center.

There are many people who come to add makeup, and there are also many dowries.Afterwards, add makeup together, and it can also be lifted.Lin Jingyu asked someone to lift the cloth back halfway, and then stuffed Tianzhuang inside.
